Subject: [CR] 2 Bates questions: serial numbers and metal head badges


For the many of you familiar with older Bates frames from London:

1) Where would the frame number be found on frames of the 1930's and 1940's? 2) When were metal head badges used? Were they standard or optional in those days?

Thank you very much for any information you maybe able to share.
